People working from home are clocking up an extra 38 hours per month with 56% feeling stressed about their job, new research has revealed.

As the country enters its ninth week of lockdown, a study has shown the mental impact of working from home during Covid-19.

The lockdown is also having a greater impact on the stress levels of younger workers, with over 70% of respondents under the age of 24 saying that they feel stressed or anxious as a result of working from home.

Working from home has also resulted in 46% of over 55 year olds saying that they missed interacting with their colleagues - compared to just 24% of under-24 years olds.
